* [[Alcohol-Induced Idiocy]]: Luke's in jail because he got drunk and decided to decapitate some parking meters.
* [[All Crimes Are Equal]]: Subverted. Luke's stay was supposed to be short (three to six months), but his antics increase that number.
Line 31 ⟶ 29:
* [[Sanctuary of Solitude]]: This at the end, with Luke sneaking into a church to talk to God.
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Donned by Boss Godfrey, also known as "The Man With No Eyes." Whom you do ''not'' talk to.
* [[Smite Me, OhO Mighty Smiter!]]: Asks for it in the rain. No response.
* [[Theme Tune]]: While not the primary theme, a piece of music used in a scene from the film called the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOWkPk2ETXc Tar Sequence]" was licensed by [[ABC]] to become the news theme for local newscasts on many of their stations until the mid 90's (when the network commissioned a [[Suspiciously Similar Song]] so that they wouldn't have to pay large royalties for its use) and became a critical part of the Eyewitness News local news format, where it is ubiquitous for being the [[Signature Song]] associated with American local news. Still in use today by Australia's [[Nine Network]] for their theme.
* [[Working on the Chain Gang]]: What Luke did in-between several prison breaks
